There was disbelief and panic as a large fire ripped through a barn in Nottinghamshire - completely destroying everything inside. Firefighters were called to the blaze in Gilt Hill, Kimberley - not far from Ikea in Giltbrook Shopping Park - on Friday evening, May 12.
Crews worked tirelessly at the scene to bring the fire under control and stop it from spreading to a nearby school. Residents nearby were asked to keep their doors and windows closed while the incident was being dealt with.
Four fire engines were dispatched to Kimberley and 250 tonnes of straw were ablaze with firefighters working overnight to handle the incident. No-one was injured as a result of the fire, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue confirmed.
